Bunk Bed Mattresses

You don’t need to buy a special type of mattress if your child has a bunk bed. The mattresses you would use on a regular child’s bed can be used on a bunk bed, providing it’s the right fit for the bed and not so thick that it would make using the top bunk of the bed unsafe. You can find out more about bunk bed safety, including choosing a mattress, in our guide.

Although it’s recommended to replace adult mattresses every eight years, children’s mattresses need to be replaced every three years for 3-10 year olds and every five years for 10-16 year olds. If your existing mattress is older than this, we recommend investing in a new bunk bed mattress.

Are you not sure what size mattress you need for your new bunk bed? Well, you’re in the right place! Our bunk bed mattresses are available in a range of sizes:

• Small single mattresses: ideal for small children who are transitioning from a toddler bed into an adult bed.
• Single mattresses: the standard size for most bunk beds, a single mattress is excellent for solo sleepers, children and guests.
• European single mattresses: a good choice for growing children, our European single bunk beds offer more leg space to stretch out.
• Small double mattresses: slightly smaller than a double mattress, our small double mattresses are perfect if you're a little short on space.
• Double mattresses: the largest bunk bed mattress size. It offers plenty of space and easily accommodates up to 2 people.

We have two types of foam available with our bunk bed mattresses. The types of foam we have in our range include:

• Reflex Foam: a high-density foam that provides support and firmness. Reflex foam is made up of tiny holes that mould to your body shape.
• Memory Foam: a low-resistance foam that will react to pressure by changing shape. This foam evenly distributes your body weight, offering comfort and support.

A selection of our bunk bed mattresses comes with two types of spring available. These include:

• Open coil springs: these mattresses have many open coiled springs that sit inside the mattress, running side to side. Our range of open coil spring mattresses are available in varying levels of firmness.
• Pocket springs: these mattresses feature individual pocket springs, enclosed within their own pocket. Each spring works independently and reacts to applied pressure, offering support.
